Thanksgiving Day 2026: A Grateful Farewell, A Cherished Legacy

On 13 February 2026, Clarians gathered in the school hall to celebrate Thanksgiving Day, a deeply meaningful occasion filled with gratitude, reflection, and hope. For our S.6 students, this day marked not only a heartfelt expression of thanks, but also their last school day before entering the HKDSE study period—a milestone moment in their school journey.

 

The day began with a moving morning assembly, featuring thoughtful performances and sincere messages from student representatives.  Standing on stage, the S.6 students looked back on the years they had spent at St. Clare’s Girls’ School—years shaped by guidance, encouragement, and countless shared memories.  Their words expressed profound appreciation for the teachers who had inspired them and helped shape them into confident, resilient young women.

 

 

As a token of gratitude, student representatives presented gifts to our School Supervisor, Ms. Shirley Wong, and our Principal, Mrs. Cherry Chan, on behalf of the entire student body. Sincere thanks were also extended to the Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of the Angels, the Past Students’ Association, the Parent‑Teacher Association, and all members of our school community, including teaching assistants, office staff, IT and laboratory technicians, security guards, and janitors. Each group was warmly acknowledged for their unwavering dedication and invaluable contributions in nurturing a caring, effective, and inspiring learning environment.

 

 

A highlight of the celebration was the meaningful “Pass‑it‑on” Ceremony, during which senior students symbolically passed on the school’s core values, traditions, and Clarian spirit to their junior schoolmates. This moment beautifully captured the continuity of faith, gratitude, and sisterhood that defines St. Clare’s.

 

 

In the afternoon session, students also expressed heartfelt appreciation to parents, the Past Students’ Association, and the Parent‑Teacher Association, recognising their steadfast support, generosity, and partnership with the school throughout the years. Their words served as a touching reminder that every student’s journey is supported by a strong and loving community.

 

 

Thanksgiving Day 2026 concluded with a shared sense of gratitude and confidence in the future. As our S.6 students prepare to face the challenges of the HKDSE, we hold firm belief that the Clarian spirit they carry—rooted in faith, service, and thankfulness—will continue to guide them wherever life may lead.
